GAA Managerial Merrygoround Thread - Where will Rory Gallagher end up? (Part 2)

Jarlaths email is a funny one. Theres been plenty of other cases involving Gaa people, some where people have been charged convicted and even jailed as we know.

Has he sent any emails to kilkenny about DJ or their recent camogie managerial appointment?

I’d say he’ll never write an email about such a thing again. And he shouldnt have here. But I wouldnt doubt he’s been in touch on this and many other cases.

Gleeson?

I still can’t fathom how that guy was an intercounty manager.

James Meagher - current Na Fianna Hurling coach and new Kilkenny Camogie Manager.

Not a too dissimilar case to Gleeson though.

I didnt know he was with Na Fianna.

I think the team would need to go on a 5 in row All Ireland winning unbeaten run to justify this.
How the camogie board thought this proposal with this manager was a good idea to put forward this week of all weeks is beyond me.

I get the served his societal debt and rehabilitation aspects but I’m not sure if he was ever remorseful or if he even admitted any reason behind the crimes

GAA Club’s/Counties moral compass can be very questionable sometimes.

There is going to be a very bad one coming up in Tipp soon but that’s for another day.

Probably easier get custody of the kids after psychologically destroying the other parent. If I was a sociopath and wanted my kids at all costs in a split, that’s what I’d go about first.

That’s it in a nutshell

I know nothing of the status of his children and made no comment on it.

Tom Mulally gone from Carlow

I believe Pat Bennett has it already.

Interesting to see where Mullally ends up next he won’t be idle anyway, coaching career very much on an upward trajectory

Glenmore or Ballyhale next year maybe?

A lot of the runners and riders for the big job getting their house in order.

Seamie Dollard was over Glenmore this year and got a fairly good tune out of them, albeit they bowed out meekly enough against the Boro in a QF but were never in any relegation danger so I’d imagine he’ll be back next year.

Don’t know if Shefflin intends staying with the Shamrocks next year but the split season means he could probably juggle it with the u20 county side.

If he’s not staying then Mullally could be a possibility if the Shamrocks could stomach a Glenmore man over them.

Hard to see a glenmore man manage shamrocks.
Although you never know with the way things are nowadays

Where was Pat Hoban from?

Sure didn’t they have a Tipp man for a while

Pat Hoban is Mullinavat, they had James McGarry from Bennettsbridge over them previously as well. Neither club would have a particularly strong rivalry with the Shamrocks though.

Glenmore had a savage rivalry with them back in the 80s and 90s however, and the hangover from that may preclude them from appointing Mullally. On the other hand, pragmatism may dictate that they appoint the best candidate available regardless of club affiliation.

93k is a very specific figure, but I wouldn’t doubt Ewan’s sources.

Indeed. He pulled it out of his arse like all the rest of his ‘exclusives’.
